Leslie Charles, CSP

C. Leslie Charles, Certified Speaking Professional, has helped people connect with their potential since 1979.As the author of seven books, Leslie's critically acclaimed Why Is Everyone So Cranky?thrust her into the media spotlight for nearly three years, making her a recognized expert on anger management and stress.

She's appeared on all of the major TV networks, numerous magazines, hundreds of radio shows, and quoted in many newspapers, including a USA Today cover story.

Her latest book, the humorous, Bless Your Stress: It Means You're Still Alive coauthored with Mimi Donaldson, is a highly unusual, laugh-out-loud approach to an often daunting, overworked subject. Imagine a common sense treatment of stress delivered in a highly uncommon manner!

Maintaining Perspective in Stressful Times

It’s surprising how much you can reduce your stress and anxiety when you put things in the proper perspective. After spending an hour with Leslie you will begin to understand that a large part of your stress is based on your perception of a situation, which may not always be as it seems.

Leslie has written several best-selling books on stress and stress reduction, and shares with us, among other things:

The most important question you can ask a family member in crisis

The concept of the “social dividing line;” what it means, why it’s important, how we cross it, and the effects of doing so

“Blessons” and how they enrich our lives

The most important thing we can do to relax (Most people think they are already doing this but probably aren’t!)
